Dan's treatment model, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, is family-based and focused on facilitating the child's ability to establish a secure attachment with his/her caregivers. Developmental attachment theory and research is the primary model used for relationship development and trauma resolution. Dan blends various approaches into his treatment modality.
These include family therapy, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, psychodynamic principles, psychodrama, and interventions congruent with Theraplay and narrative work. He actively communicates PLACE in order to co-regulate the affect associate with past experiences and to co-construct new meanings of these experiences.
The workshops in July are the 6th summer of training at Colby College that Dan has offered. He has presented similar training programs throughout the US and UK over the past eight years.
The workshops in Annville, Pennsylvania in January, April and August 2012 are essentially the same as have been presented at Colby College, while being four days in length, rather than four and one half days. |
